@Ceili,
No problem and thanks for your reply. I've observed (perhaps unfairly) that sometimes people don't seem to respond to my posts. Glad that wasn't the case here.
I know what you mean about bad handwriting..as my own handwriting over the years (since computer days) went from bad to ghastly - to the point that it's nearly indecipherable - even by me. However, as I type I can watch my fingers going to the wrong keys despite my best efforts. That's a bit scarey as I used to write for a living (technical manuals) and hadn't such a problem 8 years ago. I wasn't a great typist, being a hunt-and-peck sort of typist. FWIW, this change happened after the age of around 52.
However, all that being said, if the problem is mechanical..meaning typos, it's a different brain issue than outright misspelling.
I'm still considering learning the acoustic guitar as it gives me such pleasure to hear that specific sound. The other instrument I'd love to learn would be the flute. But I think learning it might be too hard to get the sound of the music to come out right vs. a guitar.
Then there's the skirl of the bagpipe. How can you tell if it is the right sound or that you are in tune?
That reminds me of another musical instrument joke: Someone accidentally left an accordian on the seat of an unlocked car which was parked at a major intersection in NYC. When they returned to their car, much to their chagrin, not only was their accordian untouched but they found another accordian placed next to it.
